The File of Life Program

Life is Precious … Every Second Counts

The FILE OF LIFE is a mini-medical history posted on the outside of one’s refrigerator and/or personally carried in a wallet or purse.
The FILE OF LIFE card enables medics to obtain a quick medical history when the patient is unable to offer one. The card, which is kept in a red plastic pocket labeled FILE OF LIFE, lists the patient’s name, emergency medical contacts, insurance policy and social security numbers, health problems, medications, dosages, allergies, recent surgeries, religion, doctor’s name and a health care proxy. The entire pocket is held, with a magnet, to the outside of the refrigerator.
Benefits to police officers:
• Faster help for citizens in emergencies.
• Maximum use of officer’s time.
Benefits to emergency rescue teams:
• Instantly know medical history of patient.
• Corrective treatment can begin at once.
Benefits to hospital emergency staff:
